95% of the personal trainers I've seen don't eevn look like they work out. Size doesn't matter, you just gotta pass the test.

The questions should be...do you have the know-how to be a personal trainer? 99% of the personal trainers I've seen at gyms don't know sh*t. A good personal trainer should have knowledge about anatomy, diet, various training methods, and a little medical ability to boot.
As for you, your a big dude....congrats!

If you have the ability to put a 5lb plate on each side of a Smith machine and have your clients do 1/4 rep squats while their knees slowly shatter, you'll be just as good as 95% of the trainers out there.....

nice rack ...
yeah you're of good size but I would think being a quality personal trainer would mainly consist of knowledge of nutrition, diet, training ethics and personality

does size help at least a bit in terms of motivating clients? I'm thinking of becoming a PT because I want to become a nutritionist eventually.....

Yeah, I agree. As long as you can pass the test you got it made. But its more than that if you actually want to be a "good" personal trainer. Just get as much nutrition/diet, workout, medical/health information you can.Originally posted by Mighty Mikey G

You need to bring up your traps, and Im guessing your legs are small.
PT-ing is not about size. Some of the most knowledgeable people in the sport that i have ever had the pleasure to converse with arent PRO style huge, Big Cat for example, but his knowledge seems endless! Some of the Pro's are still advocating glutamine for crying out loud. Size does not always equal knowledge.

i really doubt it. personally, if i was selecting a trainer I would want him to be bigger than me. where i live though, probably 80% of the clients are females. and they are usually terrified of getting big. so they'll stick with the trainers who are smaller. its dumb. but its life. lifes stupid.Originally posted by devasta

some trainers i've seen don't even lift and get away charging 300+ a pop.
it's not about size or knowledge really, it's about how well can you sell yourself and how charasmatic you are.

You have to pass the test, which isnt just about lifting weights and knowing what muscles they work.
You have to be able to do math,figure out the muscle stress tests, as well as prescribe routines,regimes for people with injuries and so on

03-26-2004, 12:46 PM #22According to your logic I could weigh 110lbs never pick up a DB in my life but I can get away with charging people $300 because I have a charming personality.Originally posted by hyp3r3xt3nsion
